Humber Business Week is more than just a series of events—it’s a community of innovators, entrepreneurs, and experts. Discover what our attendees and partners have to say about their experiences and why they return year after year to connect with the best of what the Humber region has to offer.
Really enjoyed being part of Humber Business Week this year, and being able to host our own event as part of the calendar was a new and exciting step for us. We have gained new connections and opportunities because of it and hope to be back next year!

Humber Business Week is one of those rare weeks when everyone you need to meet is out and about. It’s so important to block it out in the diary so that you get to show up, make connections, hear what’s happening across the region, and be part of the buzz rather than watching it from the sidelines.
Emma Calverley, University of Hull

Humber Business Week is a great opportunity to take time out of your day-to-day routine and learn new things, hear from inspirational speakers and meet up with new and existing contacts. Everyone from the Humber business community is there, so why would you want to be anywhere else?
Claire Robinson, Sewell Group
Humber Business Week is a powerful reminder of what makes our region special, a chance for businesses of all sizes to come together, share ideas, and celebrate the innovation happening across the Humber. For me, it sets the stage for The Business Day, capturing that energy and momentum and building towards a finale that showcases the very best of our business community.
Mark Lonsdale, Bridlington Spa & The Business Day
Humber Business Week is so much more than a collection of events. It is a week of discovery, of learning, of making new contacts, perhaps meeting your next biggest customer. But… most of all, it’s a week when our business community lift their heads and shows off to the region, and the country, what talent, diversity and innovation exists in this part of the country. This is our region, this gateway to the UK and to the rest of the world, flexing its heart muscle and revealing the enormous potential that exists in the Humber. Be part of it.
Mark Webb, e-factor & The Business Hive
Humber Business Week is such a fantastic opportunity to step outside the normal day-to-day of work and get inspired. The energy of the week is really uplifting and I’m always pleasantly surprised by the connections and ideas I come away with – they simply wouldn’t happen outside of Humber Business Week.
Sophie Auskerin, University of Hull
I’ve been attending Humber Business Week since it first began, and every year it gives me something new. The connections I’ve made have supported me all year round, and there’s always a fresh idea or a different way of doing things to take away.
